| + | [[Category:Disambiguation]] |

− | ===Covers===
| |
− | Hurt has been covered by a variety of artists, such as [[Matthew Good]], [[Peter Murphy]], and [[Sevendust]]. The song gained popularity in 2002 when it was famously covered by [[Johnny Cash]], at the recommendation of producer [[Rick Rubin]]. This caused a lot of confusion for the audiences of Cash, who generally weren't familiar with the work of [[Nine Inch Nails]], often resulting in miscrediting the song to Cash. In Cash's version, the line "crown of shit" is changed to "crown of thorns," but is otherwise unchanged.
